broken bone in a child is not something any parent wants to happen to their child and in most cases, there is usually nothing to worry about with these types of injuries as they are not life-threatening.

The collarbone (or clavicle) is the long, slightly curved bone that connects the shoulder to the chest. It supports the shoulder during body movements. A broken collarbone can take 6 weeks or longer to heal. Your child will need to wear an arm sling to keep the broken bone from moving during the injury.
